Partners & Spade

The creative duo of Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti have a talent for developing uniquely powerful brand experiences. They opened their studio, Partners & Spade, in lower Manhattan in 2008.
Partners & Spade, helped launch US brand, J. Crew’s first-ever menswear shop, known as the Liquor Store, at West Broadway and White Street in Tribeca. They converted this abandoned tavern into an upscale men’s clothing shop without losing the strong original identity of the site.

Their website, alone is worth a visit.

Boys Boys Boys!

Two weeks ago my husband's little sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! The wonderful Xavier is our fourth nephew on the other side of the world and we can't wait to meet him and see the other three gorgeous boys again! So, in honour of the lack of baby girls, I thought I'd post this fantastic wallpaper, specifically designed for boys from tots to teens.
PaperBoy was started by Victoria when her twin boys grew out of their toddler bedrooms. She - and her boys - wanted something a little more sophisticated so after a lot of research into what boys of different ages like, she came up with a few designs and had them hand crafted.
The hands are my favourite!
